The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 175: Defeat of the Bandits
If they were really defeated on all fronts, it would be difficult to find another opportunity to ambush the supply army. This was their best chance.
Once we get out of here, we can ambush again in other places, but with the reputation of the grain and fodder army, I'm afraid no stronghold will dare to send troops again.
Unless he is willing to stake all 10,000 troops of Yuntian Village.
But if he suffered a great loss at the hands of the grain and grass army, his position as the leader would be in jeopardy. The Eighteen Villages of Lianyun also depended on strength!
Just as he sounded the horn, the elite soldiers of Yuntian Village were preparing to give the grain and fodder army a head-on blow and regain their lost morale.
Chu Chengrui had received Jiang Fan's order and led 200 lightly armored heavy cavalrymen, holding Mo Dao and rushed towards the defeated bandits. This was the time to pursue the victory.
The grain and grass troops alone cannot catch up with the fleeing enemy. If they don't inflict heavy damage on the enemy and establish their authority, it may still be difficult to leave Lianyunzhai.
Besides, this is the best time for the White Robe Light Cavalry to accumulate experience.
With the charge of the light-armored cavalry, the defeated bandits were immediately slaughtered by the pursuers. They hated their parents for not giving them two more legs.
Anyone who was caught up would either be cut in half by a single blow or have his head chopped off.
The lightly armored cavalry in white robes were like harvesting rice. Wherever they passed, the corpses of the bandits were left behind by the Mo Dao.
Just as the elite soldiers of Yuntian Village tried to resist, they were killed by the light-armored cavalry and cried for their parents.
Even though they were the best among the best, they were no different from babies in front of the white-robed cavalry.
Leng Yunao, who was just expecting his elite troops to turn the tide, almost fell to the ground.
He looked at the lightly-armored cavalry in white robes in shock, thinking he had seen it wrong.
Why...is the White Robe Army so powerful?
Even cavalry should not be so unstoppable in such a chaotic battlefield!
Seeing his elite soldiers being ruthlessly slaughtered, he felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help shivering all over, with only fear in his eyes.
Even though there were only 200 light-armored cavalrymen, the fighting power they displayed was simply terrifying.
He even felt that even if he sent out ten thousand men from the entire Yuntian Village, they might not be enough to kill these two hundred light armored soldiers!
Looking at the defeated bandits on the battlefield and the corpses scattered all over the ground, Jiang Fan looked to both sides and suddenly shouted:
"Listen carefully, Eighteen Villages of Lianyun. Today, I will only kill you and your kind. I have remembered everything you have done to me today. If you don't want to die, surrender when I come next time. Otherwise, I will destroy your village!"
The last sentence, "destroy the village", made the fleeing bandits, several village leaders, and Leng Yunao feel a chill in their hearts and regretful.
They could never imagine why a supply army of only 2,000 people not only blocked their attack but also killed so many of their people.
Moreover, the white-robed cavalry had become a nightmare in their hearts.
The White Cavalry were simply too strong, so strong that they were afraid. Wherever they passed, there was only death!
If I have to describe it in one sentence, it would be that thousands of troops avoid the white robes!
If you encounter the White Robe Army in the future, you can only escape or surrender. Otherwise, the end will be death!
Several village chiefs were shocked and frightened, so they turned around and fled, not even caring about their own defeated soldiers.
Soon the entire canyon was filled with corpses, as well as the victorious supply troops, civilian laborers, and the White Robe Army who had returned from killing many people.
The forage soldiers and civilians looked at the white-robed soldiers whose white robes were stained with blood, with deep fear, awe, and respect in their eyes. This was the private army of His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince.
Strong... so strong! Terribly strong!
Leng Yunao and others who escaped now finally understood why Emperor Yan would let a useless prince retake Jinzhou.
The 200 white-robed soldiers under his command, plus the 2,000 weakest food and fodder troops, are so powerful. How powerful must the Eighth Prince be?
They no longer had the thought of attacking Jiang Fan. They were scared after being beaten at once! Not to mention that 10,000 people suffered a miserable defeat.
Even if all the 50,000 bandit soldiers in Lianyun Village were mobilized, they might not win in the end! They might even lose more miserably.
The name Jiang Fan is known throughout the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun!
In the canyon, Wu Guangyao, Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui came to Jiang Fan with excitement.
Especially Wu Guangyao and several captains of the grain and grass army, they were very proud and excited, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit. They had an urge to fight again.
Even though the battle just now lasted only over half an hour, it was really exciting and made their blood boil.
They have always been labeled as useless soldiers. They seem to have nothing to do, but they are always looked down upon.
But today they actually defeated the Lianyun Eighteen Villages bandits that even the imperial court had a headache with, how could they not be excited!
At this time, the grain and fodder troops were already full of admiration for Jiang Fan, especially after seeing the Mandarin Duck Formation exerting tremendous power, they almost regarded Jiang Fan as a god.
However, after the excitement, they started to report the losses. In this battle, no one in the White Robe Army was killed or injured, not even a minor one.
Thirty soldiers of the grain and forage army were killed and about eighty were injured, while not a single civilian was injured. They were protected in the middle and basically did not participate in the frontal battle.
Compared with the more than 5,000 casualties of the bandits, such casualties can simply be described as a myth.
Among the Eighteen Villages of Lianyun, most of the eight villages suffered hundreds of casualties, and Yuntian Village suffered the heaviest losses, with more than 1,300 of its 2,000 elite soldiers lost.
If they had escaped quickly, probably no one would have died, but the problem was that Leng Yunao wanted his elite troops to turn the tide, but he ordered 200 white-robed cavalrymen to focus on sniping!
He was now regretting to death and was also scared to death because Jiang Fan's words about coming for revenge frightened him.
Not only him, the remaining village chiefs were also terrified. Thinking of Jiang Fan's white-robed army, they were almost scared to death!
As for the remaining villages, they were shocked and angry after learning what happened. Some were thinking about whether to escape, while others were thinking about how to make amends.
Therefore, during Jiang Fan's subsequent journey, many village chiefs sent people to deliver food and money, hoping to gain Jiang Fan's forgiveness.
Jiang Fan, of course, accepted all these things. Along the way, he saw the people from various villages who came to seek peace, the grain and grass soldiers and the civilians were all wilted!
In this way, when Jiang Fan left Bingzhou and arrived at Tuzhou, he had gathered 20,000 shi of grain and fodder.
There were even more, but just when the soldiers and laborers thought that Jiang Fan would transport the grain and fodder to Jinzhou, Jiang Fan did something surprising again and sold the grain and fodder directly along the way!
Although Tuzhou and Jinzhou are adjacent to each other, it only takes about ten days to get there, so it is not impossible to transport grain there.
But Jiang Fan was still worried about something going wrong on the road, and he was sure that something would happen. To be on the safe side, he had no choice but to sell the food.
Not to mention, he had dug a trap for Ye Ren and others. With so much food and supplies, if he couldn't trap Ye Ren and others, he might end up trapping himself!
